To be fair, you folks aren't doing research -- you're doing residency program scheduling. And domain expertise is more important for your product than any sort of theoretical knowledge of science or medicine.
To found a company doing scientific research, it helps a great deal not just to have a PhD, but to to be an established researcher in the field you're commercializing. Most scientific startups founded by outsiders are...transparently bad.
- jtfairbank 11y agoAgreed. It really depends on what you are going for. You can learn domain knowledge on the fly (a lot of ours is how the organization functions), but you can't gain a deep understanding of the science side like that.
